Fill this out about your SENIOR year of high school!
The longer ago it was, the more fun the answers will be!!
1. Did you date someone from your school? It was an aall boys school. I dated a girl from the local girls' grammar school and was the rather charming custom of the day we swapped school scarves. This was a common and tolerated dress code infraction.
2. Did you marry someone from your high school? See above.
3. Did you car pool to school? I walked
4. What kind of car did you have? Don't be silly. I passed my test that year and occasionally borrowed my dad's.
5. What kind of car do you have now? I use Autoshare.
6. It's Friday night...where are you? (then) Home probably. We had school on Saturday mornings.
7. It is Friday night...where are you? (now): Friday is one night we are usually both home so dinner and a bottle of wine.
8. What kind of job did you have in high school? During term time would have been impossible due to really heavy schedule. Holidays I worked for Lloyd's Bank.
9. What kind of job do you do now? ehealth strategy consultant.
10. Were you a party animal? Not really. I went to the odd party but was more likely just to go to the pub with friends.
11. Were you considered a flirt? No
12. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? No.
13. Were you a nerd? They hadn't invented that word yet. I was good at academic work and was a keen, if unskilful, cricket and rugby player.
14. Did you get suspended or expelled? No, though my bridge partner got suspended for pouring a jug of water over the head boy.
15. Can you sing the fight song? We had a school song. We used to make junior boys sing it while standing on a chair having darts thrown at their legs.
16. Who was/were your favourite teacher? Couple I had a soft spot for. Bill Clare had Parkinson's and taught chemistry. He taught me to play bridge and was our next door neighbour. Ian Taylor was a superb physics teacher.
17. Where did you sit during lunch? Mostly I skipped lunch. The food was awful.
18. What was your school's full name? Bishop's Stortford College
19. When did you graduate? I graduated in 1978. I left school in 1975, though.
20. What was your school mascot? What an odd idea.
21. If you could go back and do it again, would you? I don't think so.
22. Did you have fun at Prom? Prom? No such thing. Collapse after last 'A' level paper was more like it.
23. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with? n/a
24. Are you planning on going to your next reunion? Do they have them? I don't think I would if they did.
25. Do you still talk to people from school? No. I know where one or two of them are but that's about it.
Striking how irrelevant these seem and how I'd ask a completely different set if I were starting such a meme.

Sports teams?
Were you a prefect and what did that mean in your school?
Single sex or co-ed?
If SS was there another school that was pretty much standard for dating from?
How much of your school time was supervised?
There must be a lot more but I'm a bit brain dead at this point.
